Anyone remember this cartoon?
Far be it from me to criticize artists, but in light of this news report, I think the bomb might be in the wrong place:
(CBS) Al Qaeda has developed a new tactic that allows suicide bombers to breach even the tightest security, as CBS News correspondent Sheila MacVicar reports.
Inside a Saudi palace, the scene was the bloody aftermath of an al Qaeda attack in August aimed at killing Prince Mohammed Bin Nayef, head of Saudi Arabia’s counter terrorism operations.
To get his bomb into this room, Abdullah Asieri, one of Saudi Arabia’s most wanted men, avoided detection by two sets of airport security including metal detectors and palace security. He spent 30 hours in the close company of the prince’s own secret service agents – all without anyone suspecting a thing.
How did he do it?
Taking a trick from the narcotics trade – which has long smuggled drugs in body cavities – Asieri had a pound of high explosives, plus a detonator inserted in his rectum.
I guess it’s too late to tell these guys where they can stick it.

And he failed in his mission, to boot. What a shame.

This event happened three weeks ago and was reported.
Any ideas on why it’s popping up again?
Popping up again?
I saw it on Drudge today, headlined “Saudi Suicide Bomber Hid IED in His Anal Cavity…” (And dated 9/28/09.) I don’t know why; perhaps Drudge is slow on the uptake.
If you’re asking why I wrote about this, it’s for the same reason I might write about anything: if and when I feel like writing, depending on whether I have something to add. (I don’t care how old the story is, as I am not a news aggregator.)
I hope that such people inspect their bombs closely and frequently.
No, no question about your running with the story, just wondering why, as it was reported weeks ago, it’s now suddenly newsworthy in the MSM.
Is it because it now strongly suggests that airline security will either have to go to cavity searches or that airline security is a fiction to begin with?
